About this map

The Haddam landscape is defined by the winding course of the Connecticut River and a dense network of smaller waterways flowing through the interior. In the river’s channel, Haddam Island and the Rock Landing Bar highlight the historical importance of the waterway for navigation and local industry. Near the riverbank, Warners Quarry Dock points to the area's legacy of stone extraction, while the Haddam Meadows State Park preserves a portion of the floodplain.

Settlement patterns are concentrated in villages like Ponset, Little City, and West Haddam, which are supported by numerous family and district landmarks. Researchers can trace local lineage through several well-marked burial sites, including the Old Rock Landing Cem, Little City Cem, and the Stone House Cem. The southern extent of the map transitions into the drainage basins for Lake Hammonasset and the Menunketesuck River, illustrating the watershed importance of this part of Connecticut.
